Ant International

Ant International is a Singapore-based financial technology company that provides digital payment, digitization, and financial services across international markets, including Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. Established in 2023 as part of Ant Group's initiative to expand its services beyond the Chinese mainland, Ant International operates as an independently managed entity, focusing on delivering cross-border payment technology solutions to global businesses. The company aims to support businesses and financial institutions in maximizing their growth potential in Asia, the world's most diverse and fastest-growing region.

The company's strategic initiatives include partnerships with various entities to develop fintech platforms and enhance digital financial services. In July 2025, Ant International, along with Trendyol Group, Baykar CEO Haluk Bayraktar, and Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund ADQ, signed a memorandum of understanding to explore a joint fintech venture in Turkey. This platform aims to offer a wide range of digital financial services, such as digital payments, loans, deposits, investments, and insurance, primarily targeting individuals and small businesses. The collaboration seeks to integrate Trendyol's e-commerce infrastructure, Baykar's artificial intelligence and cybersecurity expertise, and Ant International's experience in financial technology.

In October 2025, Ant International invested in R2, a Latin American lending firm, to bolster credit access for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the region. This investment includes a primary capital infusion and aims to merge Ant's advanced risk assessment capabilities with R2's financing infrastructure. Additionally, Ant International has been involved in launching AI-powered tools to assist businesses in managing foreign exchange risk and reducing hedging costs, demonstrating its commitment to leveraging technology to enhance financial services. These initiatives reflect Ant International's dedication to expanding its global footprint and providing innovative financial solutions to diverse markets.
